ticiency-His Probable Successor.

announcement that notice had been
served upon MIR. j. X. p. Carr, Deputy

no quarrel or MISUNDERSTANDING OF any
Kind has occurred, and bis friends declare
that Col. Bee had no iault TO find with
Mr.. Cars efficiency. MIR. Carr has been
IN the Office for The past seventeen years.
During a conversation yesterday Col.
Bee requested IL to be stated that no one
in any manner interested in the election

remarked that the matter was something
that was entirely between himself and
Mr.. Carr.

BASE BALL UNCERTAIN.

Savannah Will Not Put Up the ST.
600 Guarantee Fund.
The base ball question is not vet fully
settled, and in spite of what has been
done it is not at all certain even now that
Savannah will be in the league this sea-
son.
Up to yesterday morning only little
more than 81, 100 of the stock subscribed
ha0 been collected in. 1t was necessary
TO put up the $1,000 guarantee or forfeit
the league franchise. The directors had
only 81, 100, and did not have faita enough
in the success of the movement TO put up
the other $500 out of their own pockets.
Mr.. Haas telegraphed President Morrow
that the club would put up $1,000. If
that would not do it would forfeit its fran
chise. Late last night no answer had
been received.
Ii Savannah is ruled out, and Macon,
ChattanoO4a and Atlanta fail to come In,
there Will be very little doubt but that
the league Will collapse. a reply is ex-
pected this morning TO Dir. Haas tele-
gram to President Morrow, and will
probably determine whether Savannah is
in orout.
A Nashville special to the MORNING
NEWS, received at . O'Clock this morning,
says that President Morrow is not in
Nashville and no information can be had
there in regard to the league outlook.

Editor Morning NelgS: Your article
in reference to harbor appropriations
was both timely and true. 1t is a
lamentabIe fact, and 'tis pity" that it is
TACT, that our city Is sleeping over her
interests. There seems to be strange
apathy on the part of all concerned in
regard to making, or rather keeping, the
position. kind nature has already
placed in our grasp, OF the first seaport
on the South Atlantic coast. 1t is proper
and pertinent to ask who should move in
this matter. Are not our City Fathers
custodians OF our city's interests and is
it not of vital interest that the approaches
to our city shall be made easy and inVit-
ingp We should, as individuals and off,
cially as body corporate, invite people
here, for people make trade, and trade
makes wealth and wealth builds a city.
Let us not forget that "God helps those
who help themselves" Where are you,
Oh! we chiefs and rulers, when money il
to be had Tor the asking and help for
those VINO put their hands to the work?
